Yangjiang Knives: Over 55 Billion Yuan

Use Yangjiang for cutlery depth, and a Yiwu household booth only for a finished piece whose signed sample is the spec. Yangjiang's commerce answer dated 24 September 2024 says the city is China's largest knife production and export base, with an industry scale above 55 billion yuan, output about 70 percent of the national total, exports about 85 percent, and sales to more than 160 countries and regions. As of that answer, checked 10 November 2026. The city's report of the 25th hardware and knife fair says it opened on 20 October 2026 at Yangjiang International Convention and Exhibition Center with 266 exhibitors.

Scale chart: Yangjiang knife cluster above 55 billion yuan in the 2024 city answer, and 266 exhibitors at the 20 October 2026 fair.
The yuan figure is the 2024 commerce answer. The 266 is the 2026 fair, not a factory census.

Yiwu household goods are a different buy.

Keep the 2024 answer and the 2026 fair apart. They measure different things.
Split chart from the 24 September 2024 city answer: about 70 percent of national knife output and about 85 percent of exports.
Both shares are that one answer. Do not blend them with an older city profile.

Mixed bowls and frames stay on Yiwu home decor and household goods. A knife still has a destination rule. GOV.UK says the laws on selling, buying, and carrying a knife depend on the type, and that knives on its banned list are illegal to bring into the UK. Read the current list on buying and carrying knives, as of 10 November 2026.

Send the blade spec for a Yangjiang sourcing RFQ after you have opened that list for your destination.

Illustrative example

Illustrative assumptions: 300 chef's knives, plain bolster, no famous mark, each in a sheath. The sample photo has to show the edge, the rivets, the stamp, and the sheath. Bulk uses the same four. 300 sheathed knives are one packing description. A Yiwu decor line called "kitchen" is a different seller until the invoice says otherwise. What to re-check before a mart shipment leaves is the market-floor quality check.

Open the knife RFQ with blade, handle, stamp, sheath, and destination.
